Generations on Tumblr
I'm curious which generations like to use Tumblr. Definitions were used from Wikipedia. I didn't include Gen Alpha as the minimum age for Tumblr is 13.
Baby Boomers (1946–1964)
Generation X (1965–1980)
Generation Y / Millennials (1981–1996)
Generation Z / Zoomers (1997–2012)

Since I was born well after 1964 but somewhat prior to 1980, I'm technically Generation X according to the Wikipedia definitions. However, due to events in my life history, I'm functionally a Millenial. And I feel like I've got very little in common with someone who was born in, say, 1972.

I’m in a similar situation, for a different generation. I was born in 1961, which makes me technically a Boomer. But I certainly feel like I have more in common with Generation X and older millennials.
I’m not trying to disrespect Boomers here, who get far too much disrespect already. But I was too young to be threatened by the Vietnam war draft, to be a hippie, or to go to Woodstock.
Many demographers consider my cohort to be separate from Boomers and Generation X entirely. We are sometimes called Generation Jones, a name I dislike. I like to think of us as the Dazed and Confused Generation. That movie was about our generation, as was That 70s Show.
